Road Runners
Welcome to Daventry Road Runners
Daventry Road Runners are a friendly, all-inclusive running club based in Daventry, Northamptonshire and have been around in our modern form for over twenty years. We’re very much a community club offering training sessions and coaching in a safe and supportive environment.
We love to welcome new runners of all ages and abilities and currently have over 200 members. So, whether you’re chasing a new personal best, looking to improve your fitness or would just like to enjoy the social aspect, then you’ve come to the right place.
We have club runs on most evenings throughout the week, which offer a variety of sessions including interval training, hill repeats, group paced runs and more, all organised by our qualified run leaders. We also offer additional off-road trail runs, track sessions and regular social activities for members, including club breakfasts, evenings out as well as social runs. Feel free to try us out for up to four club run sessions before joining.
Want to know more? We’re a friendly bunch, so please feel free to come and speak to us if you see us out and about, or get in touch using our online enquiry form.
